The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions of students on the use of Blackboard in the Department of English at Al Jouf University. Al Jouf University is located in Al Jouf province in the northwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A cohort of 50 male students of the university participated in this study. The sample population was selected randomly. The data was collected using a questionnaire. The results of the study suggest that though the students neither agree nor disagree about Blackboard offering a lively and interesting environment, they report that Backboard offers variety in the learning of their courses and it helps them learn various aspects of their courses at their own pace. The findings imply that Blackboard could be used as an effective medium to provide variety in the instruction as well as to help create a motivational environment for learners.

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is one of headache syndromes that is female predominate and associated with increase intracranial pressure without obvious etiology, it has variable clinical presentation, and it needs high index of suspicion to reach diagnosis even with presence of well-established diagnostic criteria. Visual symptoms, which range from visual obscuration to blindness significantly,affect the outcome of this disease. Unfortunately, there is limited literature about IHH in Middle East and in Saudi Arabia in particular. In this retrospective study, we try to shed the light on pseudo-tumor cerebri in university hospital in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This is a retrospective study conducted among 105 patients with IIH admitted to the university hospital in Saudi Arabia. Data on age, gender, as well as about symptoms, obesity, medication and surgeries, and CT/MRI results was collected. Results: The mean age of patients was 37.72 years old with standard deviation of 13.48 where 96.2 % of patients were females. Headache is the more common symptom presented by 96.2 % of patients followed with blurred vision and papilledema (85.7 %) and over weight (77.1 %). Considering medications taken by patients because of IIH, we found that main medications was Diamox which prescribed to 96.2 % with mean dose of 942.3 mg. Regarding surgical intervention, 4.8 % had a surgery of VP-shunt and 1.9 % had optic nerve fenestration Conclusion: We concluded that IIH incidence is higher among young women with higher body weight and associated with the use of hormonal contraceptives. The main symptoms of IIH are headache with papilledema and visual disturbances. Acetazolamide is the most common prescribed medication for IIH patients while 6.6 % of patients need surgical procedures.

A great wave of diabetes is sweeping the world and it does not exclude continent, country or society and this has led international organizations such as the World Health Organization to sound the alarm after the high rates of deaths from complications of this epidemic. In this regard, the University Diabetes Center (UDC) was established in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to provide medical care for people with diabetes among other medical issues. As part of UDC, an ontology center has been constructed to explain the domain of the UDC using Protégé. The discussion herein will center on how emerging diabetes centers can benefit from the UDC experiment in diabetes treatment.
